Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure feet are measured correctly, ideally in the afternoon when feet are slightly larger.
Shoes feel stiff initially
New trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Small debris can impact grip.
Discoloration on white areas
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized white shoe cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
